Booked to go first week of oct. I first asked for SETV but they said would require METV but the fact i lived in Ireland and would be applying in Belgium wasn't an issue shall update once issued :-) they did list some requirements: copy of travel insurance during travel, funds of total of 6.000 eur. Plane ticket to thailand, copy of confirmed stay first week at least. and because my partner is travelling with me a declaration i would take care of her financially ... (which is a weird one) :-)
